Redefining Quality of Life
Founder & Executive Director |
Passionate and dedicated leader with a profound commitment to serving and empowering others. Leveraging personal experiences overcoming disabilities, I founded An Officer and Two Gentlemen to provide vital support to fellow veterans and first responders. As a sponsored 509 street ambassador, I bring a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for snowmobiling and riding motorcycles, having been riding since the early 2000s. Using this platform, I fuel the passion for adventure in individuals of all abilities. With a focus on fostering camaraderie and resilience, I am driven to create meaningful connections and positive change within our community. I believe that we are the only ones that can define our abilities and disabilities, so let's ride towards the true sense of what actually defines who we are. Let us ride towards our future and show

others that everyone deserves a quality of life, and that everyone can enjoy a quality of life. Together, let's ride towards empowerment and camaraderie, and let us make sure that no one rides alone!
Powersports Ambassador
Born for the snow, Michael's journey with snowmobiles began at the tender age of 6, riding a Little Skipper lovingly restored by his father and uncle – a cherished relic now showcased in a museum. Bonding over this shared passion, snowmobiling has been a constant thread throughout his life, riding alongside his dad and now with his own family.
Currently residing on a snowmobile trail in northern NH, Michael eagerly anticipates hitting the trails with his Timbersled 120R's, eager to share his love for Timbersled with others. Spirited trail riding, exploring rural landscapes, and the camaraderie of the snow-bike and snowmobile community are all integral parts of his snow-filled existence.
As one of our key volunteer staff members, Michael has been instrumental in showcasing the transformative impact of our organization. Whether turning wrenches, towing vehicles out of sticky situations with his trusty Polaris Titan, or stepping in as a lead guide on the trails, Michael's dedication knows no bounds.
